Hello, I want to remove tags from all media in a directory by command line the same way the GUI removes tags. Does anyone know how to do this?

Alright fellas after looking into the scripting and auto loading folders with mp3tag I wasn't successful and getting it to do what I need. I did some searching and found a CLI called TAG I was trying my best to get TAG working but wasn't able to so I checked out the exiftool some more and after some…

MP3Tag has no command line options for tag manipulation. But there are other command line tools that can do the job. One of the most flexible is ExifTool by Phil Harvey .

Thank you for your solution @nyxtyr Could you confirm that exiftool.exe only remove tags for .MP4 tracks, still not for .MP3 ?

I asked him to be sure that other readers finding this thread thanks to Google see that his solution works fine for .MP4, but not for .MP3. The linked page says for exiftool v12.22 from 17.03.2021: ExifTool can Read, Write and/or Create files in the following formats. Also listed are the support l…
